Hi there! Additional outfits are definitely something I'm looking to add in the future! As for Roy, there will be a point in a future version where you, as the player, can choose NOT to pursue him romantically and remain platonic. However, as for what's in the game now, well, Luc is canonically bi and has a bit of a thing for Roy, and it shows. But whether or not that becomes anything more than friends is up to the player.
Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you are enjoying it so far!
Nice to hear about new outfits coming in the future. I did the shopping trip for the first outfit 4+ times. I was expecting to either go for the casual or sporty styles since they match my personal style and I was honestly surprised to realize that the dress was my favorite. Luc being taught how to ride in one was also funny which sealed it.
I'm guessing we'll be able to also get new spells as well. Do you have an idea of how large the team will be?
Will there be more to the stats in the future? I know courage can shape if Luc comes out as trans and charm is supposed to make you more sociable. What will academics do? Will Luc need to balance school life/grades with guardian duties or will it shorten the time to research monsters and learn new spells?
Nice to hear that there will be a platonic route for him in the future. I thought we'd be able to also shape Luc's attractions since we can also shape if the they are trans and other social stats. Like I thought the Roy route would start and the player could decide if Luc's attracted to him/guys romantically or if guys are seen as just friends for example. Guess I'll just have to avoid him for now tho since it seems that's the where Luc explicitly says she's into guys and I'd like to avoid that bit. That's just a personal thing. I've enjoyed everything about your game so far besides being attracted to guys and i really look forward to what the future has in store.
Sorry for the delayed response. I've been quite sick.
To address your questions: I do know how large the team will be, but I'm keeping that under-wraps until it's time. I don't currently plan to add more stats. The social stats are generally used to gate dialogue options and story paths. However, having a high academics giving you a boost to research is an interesting idea. I'll play around with it!
No problem. I hope you feel better.
Yeah it seems that when I studied a few times the game talked about how Luc found the subject tough but studying helped. This has me thinking that we'd have to balance social/guardian duties with keeping our grades up in school.
Since researching monsters and learning new magic takes multiple time slots I was thinking that higher academics could reduce the number of time slots needed to learn them. Like investing in academics early will make learning these skills much easier later on.
